food and drug reaction with dilantin and milk

My doctor wanted me to start with the Dilantin first, but then I read that bone-thinning and excess facial hair can be the some of the side effects. (So, I'm going with Tegretol.) I had no idea about the risk of leukemia! Are you okay?

i started taking dilantin and im late for my period almost 4 weeks.

I am allergic to milk and eggs and am wondering how important it is to avoid them during tx. I have only a slight allergy to milk. I just can't eat anything with a milk base or drink milk, but I can eat things with milk as an ingredient. Eggs I don't tolerate unless it's in baked goods, even then I have problems sometimes. If I'm understanding it right, it's my immune system that is the source of the reaction. So, how important is it for me to avoid these during tx?

Milk intolerance causes different symptoms and requires different treatment than does a true milk allergy. Common signs and symptoms of milk protein or lactose intolerance include digestive problems, such as bloating, gas or diarrhea, after consuming milk. ' You could read more about this at the following link - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/milk-allergy/DS01008 See a doctor or allergist if you experience food allergy symptoms shortly after eating.

m dairy sensitive, so I do drink a lil Soy milk but only 1-2 cups a day with cereal and never before allowed in morning, I made an apt with a new Doc, although couldn't get in to any Endos close to me.. I will keep the search on for one, thank you again..

can a person get drug reaction like anaphylactic reaction even if the drug has been used before. e.g if I have taken a particular antibiotic many times, is there still a chance that I might get a reaction to it????

3 and they gave him a loading dose of 500mg. PO of dilantin, and 500mg. IV Dilantin. He is very regimented taking his Dilantin and does not miss doses. And told him to take 400mgs. today. I have a call in to our family Dr. and waiting for a return. We were being seen by a Neurologist, but she abruptly cancelled my husbands January appt. and said she was leaving town for a month, and did not refer us to any other Dr. so we saw the family Dr. who is prescribing.

2 and I take the correct dosage my doctor prescribed of 400 MG a day. 200 in the morning and 200 at night. My doctor thinks I am not taking my Dilantin and I cannot convince him otherwise!!! I don't know what to do or where to find any information about it. Would appreciate any information, please.

I know that I have severe gastro problems from milk (with or without lactose) and that white onions zone me out. Corn can also zone me out (sleepy brain fogs) if more than a small amount and I have other milder food allergy reactions. I have a few other health conditions but don't feel they are relevent here. Any suggestions on a possible Omega supplement that may be "hypoallergenic". I have tried the Fish, Salmon, and Flax and all do the same.

The neurologist figured the Topamax just was not working and then put him on Keppra. (He was still taking 1 dilantin and weaned off that dilantin just before going on Keppra) I had him wean off the Topamax really slow, much slower than the neurologist wanted at first but neuro. gave us his ok to wean off slow. He also weaned on Keppra at a slow dosage. The Keppra worked ok and then he had a few other seizures, one he actually ended up w/ a compression fracture in his back.

[9780] Adverse GI effects of phenytoin therapy include nausea/vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, and anorexia. Taking the drug with food may reduce some symptoms, however, clinicians should keep in mind that oral administration with continuous nasogastric feedings can significantly impair phenytoin bioavailability. Gingival hyperplasia is a adverse reaction in children and young adults, especially during long-term therapy. Emphasis should be placed on good oral hygiene and gum massage.

Two meta-analyses (an analytic study combining the results of several clinical trials) done by Sirven, et al (2004) and Tremont-Lukats, et al (2008) showed no benefit to giving anti-epileptic drugs in general, and Dilantin in particular, to patients with brain tumors in order to prevent an initial seizure. Your husband may have an option not to take Dilantin since there's no difference in outcome. You can check out the articles yourself: www.mayoclinicproceedings.

i just started taking dilantin and im 4 weeks late for my peiod and not pregnant

not much would technically happen but for baraclude to work best you need it to go into your stomach while empty and let it work its magic i guess..a shock an awe effect for the virus .. i dont know teababy.. but it does make sense that the pill goes into your stomach with a free ride for it to do whatever.. im on baraclude and never really questioned it.. it kinda just made sense so i never looked into it.. good luck with baraclude.. no side effects for me thank God..

Avoid cheese, butter and milk cream products. Use unsaturated fatty acid like vegetable oils for food preparation. Good exercise to burn calories like aerobics, jogging is helpful. I suggest you to consult dietitian in your area. Take care and regards.

I am on 500mg Dilantin daily as a seizure maintenance drug which works fine. I'm also on 100mg topomax daily as a migraine maintenance drug. I've run out of my Dilantin and want to know how many topomax would be the equivalent temporary substitution for Dilantin?

To get her belly used to it start by mixing it half and half with water first and then slowly increase milk and decrease water over a small period of time (like 2wks) to help her belly adjust and also find what amount might be too much for a while.

Never had a physical reaction to them. She also had a rast test done to milk and low and behold test confirmed she was allergic to milk. I refused to take her mild away as she can only drink milk and water and she needs all the vitamins she can get since she can't eat any fruit...Not just going to let her live on water. She has also been tested for Cealic disease and that came back negative. So yeah at this point I am not sure of where to turn next.

The problem with the food allergy testing is sometimes the amount of food they challenge with may be not sufficient to elicit any allergic reactions. When such food is consumed in large quantities can elicit allergic reaction in the form of hives, redness of skin, itching etc. You need to note down such food also in your diary and avoid the intake in future. I suggest you to consult skin specialist/ immunologist for further line of management. Take care and regards.

I have baffled my husband and myself. I go through a box every other day and a Gallon of Soy milk. Even though The milk is another Good thing because of what this particular soy milk has in it. ...It's the one called Silk Soy with DHA-Omega 3 & Extra Calcium... I have it for breakfast and lunch and sometimes dinner...but I know the importance of eating very healthy while taking Methadone (Thanks to you ---> Gnarly_1) But this is CRAZY??? Has anyone else experienced this??

They said she was having seizures based on her low Dilantin levels. The gave her two injections of Dilantin, she seemed fine and they sent her home. Now she seems fine again, although a little weak, dizzy, and tired, but pretty good for having three back to back episodes. We went to a follow up appointment with her general doctor on Monday. He again insisted it was related to her cholesterol.

you're congestion may be caused by a sensitivity to one or several of the ingredients in ketchup. many people associate sinus problems with just seasonal and other environmental allergies, but they can also be a reaction to the food you're eating. the best way to find out is to go to an allergist. otherwise, you could try taking a benadryl when you eat ketchup and see if that helps.

I have a TSH of 0.24 and T4 of 1.04. I have been on Dilantin for 30 years. I have been on Thyroid replacement therapy for 18 years with monthly injection of B12. I have had extreme fatigue and chest pains. Seeing neurologist for medicine change and have be referred to endocrinologist. How concerned should I be? What tests should be given? Is this my pituitary gland?

I would also recommend a liquid diet while the reaction is going on and avoid simple carbohydrates as they seem to fuel the reaction in some way. Drink tons of water with electrolytes. Lots of antioxidants, vitamin C and bioflavonoids and natural anti-inflammatory herbs. Antihistamines and steroids should be prescribed as a last resort for those of us that have drug sensitivities.

Hello ladies. My daughter just had her 1 year doctor appointment and he told me to give her more food and less milk. She can and should eat what I eat. Is he rushing it? She's just 1 year. What would you ladies suggest as good nutritious food that she won't choke on?
